London papers of the 16th ult. and Liverpool of the 17th, were received by the Florida, Capt. Tukham, at N. York. Nothing certain was known in regard to the formation of a new ministry, but the Times of the 16th, states that the following arrangements are in contemplation:--
Sir John Copley to be Lord Chancellor.
Lord Granville, Foreign Secretary
Mr. Robinson, (with a peerage,) Colonial Secretary.
Mr. Huskisson, Home Secretary, (this not certain.)
Lords Dudley and Ward, Privy Seal.
Lord Carlisle, Lord Lieutenant of Ireland.
Duke of Devonshire, Lord Chamberlain, (not certain.)
Marquis of Anglesea, Master of the Ordnance.
Lord Bexley is allowed to come back to the Cabinet.
The new title of Mr. Robinson, is Lord Strathearn.
The Marquis of Londonderry resigned his Embassy to Vienna on hearing of Mr. Canning's appointment. It is rumored that the Marquis has written an insolent letter to the King. Other resignations have taken place--among them, it is reported, the Attorney General.
One paper says it is believed the Duke of Cambridge will be appointed Commander in-Chief. Another states that the Marquis of Anglesea has been offered the post.
The Duke of Clarence has been appointed Lord High Admiral, and will be assisted by the whole of the present Board of Admiralty, with the exception of Lord Melville.
We look at the appointment as a prompt and decisive evidence of the course which his Majesty is determined to pursue in the present crisis; and as evidence that he will not permit the interests of the country to suffer from the attempts which have been made to thwart and embarrass the government--Times.
Viscount Granville, Mr. Huskisson, Sir Charles Stuart, Viscount Palmerston, and Lord Seaford, had interviews with Mr. Canning. Earl Bathurst withdrew a number of papers from the Colonial Office.
The Observer congratulates the country that Mr. Huskisson, and Mr. C. Grant continue in their former offices, and that Mr. Wynn does not resign his Presidency of the Board of Control. The rumor is still prevalent that Mr. Scarlett will receive an appointment.
It is said that his Majesty received the resignation of the seceders with a tone so decisive, that more than one repented he had not doubted before tendering so fatal an offer. Lord Bexley is said to have recalled his, and Mr. Peel it was rumoured, would probably be open to explanation.
